I'm not sure if I've been going about this the right way, but this is what I do for learning a foreign language.
I create a Vocabulary Card type... with the foreign word; the pronunciation (in phonetics) and attach a sound file of the word; then fill in the translation. So far so good. But I also want to to be prompted with the sound, and check the meaning. So I wind up adding a second card for each foreign word as just front-to-back-only type. On this card, I just put the text "Listen." and add the same sound file; then the answer field is the translation and how to write it in the foreign language's script. It's kind of cumbersome to add two cards for every foreign word. Also, even though I set the mnemosyne settings to show cards "randomly", it does happen the two different card types, for the same word, are shown back to back or in very close succession. That kind of defeats the usefulness and the scheduling algorithm. Am I doing this wrong? Is there a way to get what I want using only the vocabulary card type? Suggestions?
